Rebirth
The bright red blood dripped onto the bluestone bricks on the ground and seeped into the soil at an extremely fast speed. The four fingers also rolled to the ground and were covered in mud.
He Lizhou subconsciously tensed his body, and because he was holding the knife too tightly, his fingertips trembled slightly.
The man in black glanced at He Lizhou, sneered, and lowered his head to recite the first word of the spell.
He Lizhou casually wiped the blood on the blade on the corner of his clothes, exerted force on his wrist, and carefully moved his right hand, aiming at the head of the man in black. However, just before he threw the dagger out, his wrist was held down by someone.
He Lizhou was completely unaware of the presence approaching him. When he turned around, he found it was Bai Yimei.
She had stayed in the hotel for a while, and because Sheng Ju was very close to her, He Lizhou might have subconsciously considered Bai Yimei as one of "her own". Her aura was familiar enough, so this time, he was so tense that he didn't even notice Bai Yimei approaching.
Bai Yimei looked ahead with a cold expression. She was not as gentle and amiable as Sheng Ju usually was. At this moment, she had the fierce aura of a character in the dungeon. She exerted a little force on her hands, but she was not trying to block He Lizhou's attack. It was just an action she couldn't help but do when she was nervous.
She looked at Mr. Bai and said, "Father, this is my friend. You are mistaken."
Mr. Bai slowly turned his head and first saw Bai Yimei, then his gaze moved to Bai Qiuliang who was slowly coming over, and finally looked at He Lizhou again.
Bai Yimei swallowed and glanced at the man in black. When the Bai siblings arrived, the man in black immediately spoke faster. There was also a faint movement on the ground where everyone was standing, as if something was trying to grow out from the ground.
Bai Yimei became even more nervous and spoke again: "Father!"
Mr. Bai's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he took a step forward, "Stop, stop, Gu Shangding!"
It was also at this time that He Lizhou finally learned the name of the man in black, Gu Shangding.
He Lizhou had heard this name before, from the servants in Bai Mansion. They said, "I heard that the one Grandpa invited this time is Master Gu's disciple!"
"Master Gu? Is that Gu Shangding? Didn't they say he died a long time ago?"
"Who knows..."
The servant walked away chatting. He Lizhou originally wanted to step forward and ask more questions, but there were other assistants around him who were anxiously waiting for He Lizhou to give some advice.
But when he got out of the crowd, the two servants had disappeared.
He Lizhou subconsciously looked back at Wu Guyun and Si Dongyun. After he used the ultimate move given by the system, the players who had died and were turned into puppets left, while the players who were still alive but temporarily lost consciousness just stayed there in a daze. Naturally, he could not find anything wrong with them.
However, He Lizhou soon had no time to take care of this matter, because after Gu Shangding heard Master Bai's call, he only paused for a moment, but did not give up summoning the things below.
Mr. Bai obviously did not expect Gu Shang would definitely break the agreement. The anger on his face soon turned into determination.
Since the two people are in a cooperative relationship, they naturally have secrets that they have not shared with each other. For example, Mr. Bai does not know the way to break this situation, but Gu Shangding violates the agreement and does this. Then he can also interrupt Gu Shangding's spell and prevent it from being cast, so naturally there will be no threat.
Although Mr. Bai was huge in size, he was unexpectedly agile and even reached Gu Shangding earlier than He Lizhou's dagger.
Mr. Bai did not cover Gu Shangding's mouth, nor did he even plan to get close to him. He just quickly bent down and picked up the severed finger on the ground.
He Lizhou's eyes followed his movements and saw the four severed fingers of Gu Shangding. Something flashed through his mind and he felt a chill on his back. Without time to think more, he rushed over to help Master Bai collect the severed fingers.
I don’t know if Gu Shangding was on guard against it on purpose. The four broken fingers clearly fell to the ground at the same time, but they did not fall in one place. Instead, they were scattered in four directions. Naturally, it would take more time to pick them up.
And within these few short seconds, Gu Shangding had finished reciting all the spells.
This method also caused great damage to him. The bluestone bricks on the ground cracked, and as something came out, he also spat out a mouthful of smelly blood.
Bai Yimei had never seen this before, and she glanced at He Lizhou in panic, "I'll send you out, don't worry about what's going on here."
She knew that He Lizhou had a close relationship with the two girls in this copy, and she didn't mind sending them out together, so she turned around to pull Wu Guyun up.
This would have been the best solution, but He Lizhou uncontrollably stopped Bai Yimei. When Bai Yimei looked back in confusion, He Lizhou realized what he had just said.
A man came out from underground. Mr. Bai picked up a severed finger. He Lizhou held two fingers in his hand, so only one could come out. The sticky touch of the severed finger in his hand was really nauseating, but he had no time to care about it at this time. He Lizhou looked at the man who was "summoned" by Gu Shangding and felt that he looked very familiar.
Gu Shangding's cold eyes swept across He Lizhou's palm, but he smiled indifferently, "One is enough to deal with you."
He Lizhou took out a sealed bag from somewhere, put the severed finger in it, and carefully sealed it to prevent it from falling to the ground during the fight and causing any unexpected incidents. After doing all this, he raised his eyes and looked at the ragged man.
Judging from his skeleton, he looks like a strong middle-aged man. Although he looks harmless, the aura all over his body is released because of the chaotic consciousness of his owner, which is very oppressive. He Lizhou dare not underestimate him. Gu Shangding and Mr. Bai are the final BOSS in this copy. The killer they send out must be not simple. He Lizhou does not doubt Gu Shangding's words that this one is indeed enough to deal with him.
As if he could see He Lizhou's fear, Gu Shangding finally had a feeling of turning the situation around. He exhaled, raised his hand slightly, and pressed it down suddenly!
At the same time as the gesture was made, the "puppet" rushed over like the wind. He Lizhou saw his big hands with bulging veins. Even though he was unsure of his fighting ability, he knew that it was not something he could deal with, so he could only dodge first.
He Lizhou's advantage lies in those puzzle games. He knows very well that such fights are not good for him. Even when he encountered them in the past, he always won quickly within his own advantageous time. However, this one today is very difficult to deal with...
He Lizhou dodged his move again. The purpose of his continuous defense was to take this opportunity to observe the opponent's attack methods and find loopholes. However, what was despairing was that every move of the opponent was almost perfect and clean. If it were not for his agility, he would have died under the attack long ago.
The only fortunate thing was that Bai Yimei persuaded Mr. Bai, and the father and daughter besieged Gu Shangding, so He Lizhou did not have to worry about a sneak attack from Gu Shangding in the rear.
He Lizhou touched his chest, where Gu Shangding's severed finger was placed. He was wondering what effect the severed finger had on the "puppet". He Lizhou did not remember all the spell that Gu Shangding chanted, and he did not hear the middle part clearly because of Bai Yimei's joining in. Therefore, it was impossible to issue orders based on the spell in his memory. He could only hope that the severed finger could affect the thinking and actions of the "puppet", even if only for a moment.
Having made up his mind, He Lizhou tore open the sealed bag, grabbed one finger and threw it high into the air. Perhaps it was the attraction of the severed finger to the "puppet", or perhaps it simply noticed the new attack, but the other party did pause for a second.
He Lizhou was waiting for this opportunity, holding the short knife in his hand, and stabbed it into the forehead of the "puppet".
At the same time, Si Dongyun regained consciousness briefly. She opened her eyes and what she saw was He Lizhou suppressing the "puppet" with a knife.
Si Dongyun couldn't control himself and shouted, "Uncle Qin!"
He Lizhou was attracted by her shouting, and he raised his head to find the direction of Si Dongyun. Half of his face was covered in blood, and his eyes were sharp when he raised his eyes. Si Dongyun was frightened and lost her voice, and couldn't speak for a long time.
He Lizhou could not care about her, because the "puppet" under him made new movements. He Lizhou gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, thinking that it was worthy of being a puppet, and was not affected by such an injury.
However, when he drew out his dagger and prepared to finish off the man, he found that the man under him had regained consciousness and his eyes were clear.
He Lizhou paused, thinking of Si Dongyun's address just now, and tried to test him: "Uncle Qin?"
Qin Tuo raised his eyes and met He Lizhou's eyes. At this moment, Qin Tuo was even more embarrassed than when he had just crawled out of the soil, but his eyes were calm and steady.
Qin Tuo rolled his eyes slightly, and He Lizhou immediately understood his action. He turned sideways to shield himself from Qin Tuo's gaze.
Neither of them spoke, but based on eye contact alone, they decided to trust each other. Perhaps they were forced to take a gamble, but more importantly, they felt the same message and were willing to take the risk this time.
Qin Tuo simply took a look at the environment here and understood the current situation. He didn't know how long he had been away from consciousness, and he couldn't speak a complete sentence. He could only try his best to explain his identity to He Lizhou intermittently.
"... Chanyu... Qintuo."
He Lizhou caught the familiar words and remembered where he had seen this person before. Ban Hefeng had shown him a portrait of Qin Tuo and told him to pay attention to it. However, Qin Tuo's appearance was very different from his usual style, so he couldn't remember it. "Qin Tuo, the former president of Chanyu?"
The other party nodded, with a little surprise in his eyes, as if he was very happy to hear that the organization was still there, but in fact...
He Lizhou had no intention of explaining. It would be better to wait until they were all out and then let Ban Hefeng explain it himself. So before Qin Tuo spoke, he asked, "How do we get rid of Gu Shangding?"
"He, is reborn."
He Lizhou didn't understand, and wasn't even sure what two words Qin Tuo said, so he asked, "What? Rebirth?"
Qin Tuo nodded with difficulty and opened his mouth to say something again, but was interrupted by Gu Shangding's roar not far away. Gu Shangding only broke four fingers on his right hand, and his left hand as well. At this moment, his eyes were fierce and resolute. He actually knelt on the ground and buried the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of his left hand deeply into the soil. When he pulled out his fingers, only three white bones were left, as if his flesh and skin had been gnawed off by something.
He Lizhou's scalp tingled and he couldn't help but look at Qin Tuo. Sure enough, he saw that he also had a serious expression on his face.
